Growth is not just a concern of sales and marketing, but of product, engineering and support too. It is this organization-wide commitment to growth that ultimately sets these companies apart.
If you are a business owner, acquiring new customers should be your #1 priority. Not only will this allow you to stay in business, but the right growth rate will help you attract investors, employees and new customers.
To illustrate my point, let’s take a look at Company A vs. Company B, two direct competitors. Both companies offer on-demand food delivery to your house or office and they are exactly the same. There’s only one difference: A is growing 5% month over month, while B is growing 9% month over month.
What is causing this seemingly insignificant 4% differential? That is what the Piktochart Marketing series are looking to address over the next few weeks! Hint- it has got a lot to do with having a sound digital marketing strategy.
At first, it seems that B will double A’s users base (5% vs. 9%). But when you take a closer look, you’ll discover that the growth of Company B compounds. After a year (roughly 52 weeks) company A will have 7,391 users, while company B will have 81,050. That’s an 11x increase over your competition. All of a sudden, that initial 4% differential looks powerful.
